House music

instantly ejected any pressure in the room. Her presence would’ve even made an angry person hopeful. Withered by time, the plethora of thin liable cracks scattered across the olive-dyed floors and indigo walls with an antique circular pattern ; this house was old enough to live in a pangea . However, there was a skeptical sense of suspicion of this person. Even though she was an aesthetically pleasing model on the front page of a magazine, she carried a repugnant air of deviousness that…

For many high school students, home feels like a permanent safe haven, but Elizabeth Welch’s house in Winchester, Massachusetts only feels like a temporary destination for her. Andover has usurped the position of primary residence in her life, and her sojourn home on every Sunday never lasts long enough. In her old neighborhood, a new generation has displaced Elizabeth, her twin, and her three older siblings; neighbors put on a façade of kindness as they wait for her family to leave. As…

the media. In result, Acid House was banned from all radio, television and other media sources. Following this, new laws were passed in hopes to put an end to the movement all together, and law enforcement shut down the “Acid House parties”. However, these complications did not stop young people from doing what they loved. As I have said, not everyone who raves, doe it for the drugs. So the true and compassionate ravers, continued on in safety. One man said, “Acid House was an example of the…

a moral panic and why it was (and still is) thought to be so closely linked with drug use, especially the intake of Ecstasy. Techno music (House) and MDMA would both have survived without each other, but their marriage was mutually beneficial; together they gave birth to rave culture. Rave culture started in the 1980’s, with the development of acid house, dance music and clubbing. Although this sub culture has always been seen in a negative way it transformed club culture by turning it into a…

elevator number two. Not sure he realizes he’s spoken to my boobs instead of my face when he steps aside and tells me to go ahead of him. Hmm. Here’s someone who’s not afraid to leer. Can’t blame him, though. I do have a nice pair. Soothing classical music serenades my eardrums as the elevator whips us up to Noah’s floor. Mike remains on the elevators. “His assistant will show you to his office.” On this floor sits a smaller lobby, less ostentatious than downstairs, and two doors. One to the…

In the past few years, electronic music has grown increasingly popular. With genres ranging from dubstep to hardstyle, it gets confusing knowing what an artist labels themselves as. Flying Lotus is no different, with his unique fusion sound being called “psychedelic electronic.” While Flying Lotus isn’t as well-known as other electronic artists such as Zedd, Skrillex, and others, he has been making a name for himself these past years. Flying Lotus released his fifth studio album titled, “You’re…

always go to relax and get the stress of my mind, and that would be my humble abode, my home. Because I walked to school on a regular basis, I always knew where to go, even during the renovations. I mean, I could never miss the area, a light blue house right across the street from a Kraft factory. The front yard had a very large pine tree in the front yard, the bottom half full of life and the top bared to nothing but twigs and death. The front porch was white…

This selection was written to describe the conditions of tenement houses, overcrowded slums that filled New York City during the late 1900’s. The first sentence of this selection states, “The first tenement New York knew bore the mark of Cain from its birth, though a generation passed before the writing was deciphered.” The author means that tenement houses were “cursed,” or were terrible creations from the very beginning, but this was ignored and not tended to…

feed their families. This forced immigrants of all ethnic backgrounds to live in tenement houses. These houses contained multiple families in one narrow room. Each room had little ventilation, no heat, and no toilets (located outside with one toilet for every twenty residents). The tenements had health risks for every resident and were disease ridden for tuberculosis, among other ailments. The tenement house rent cost approximately four dollars a month, or one week’s pay. This was the harsh…

attended, we were required to participate in the annual inter-house sport event. This event was probably the least anticipated event all year, it was dreadful and tedious as there was nothing to look forward because there was no recognition for winners and we always had to clean up the fields after the events. Most students always voted against the inter-house sport event every year. Eventually, the school board changed the way the inter-house sport event was carried out so as to make it more…
